Most people at least once, but had to wonder about how to get rid of comedones. This problem is so widespread that men, women, adolescents, and people of age are trying to fight it. What are these comedones?
Comedones are “black dots” in the common people, these are sebaceous formations that are the result of the work of our sebaceous glands.
When for some people these glands work very actively, a clogging of the pores occurs, the so-called "sebaceous plug" is formed. The fat, as we know, is yellowish in color, but when it comes into contact with oxygen, that is, at the top of the pore, it oxidizes and it appears - that same black dot. It is believed that this occurs under the influence of melanin, but not the point. We are more interested in the question of how to remove comedones?
Most often, comedones occur where most sebaceous glands are located - on the face (especially in the forehead, nose and chin - the T-zone), back, shoulders.
However, the cause of these annoying points is not always the activity of the sebaceous glands. Sometimes, especially when it comes to comedones not in adolescence, the causes of their appearance can be both unhealthy diet and hormonal disruptions. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a doctor before trying cleansing and peeling.
How to get rid of comedones. At home or in the cabin?
You can try to clean your face at home. To do this, you need to steam up the pores once a week (this is the most elementary way): boil a little water, you can with herbs, and sit over a saucepan with this water for about 15 minutes. The pores will steam up and they can be deeply cleaned. But steaming is not a daily procedure, but a weekly one. If you resort to it more often, vascular nets may appear on the face. Then mechanically remove the black dots, that is, squeeze out. We do this carefully so as not to damage the skin. Better, of course, if this is done by a cosmetologist. And then we apply a mask: masks must be applied 2-3 times a week on prepared and cleaned skin. In those days when we don’t steal the face, peeling is used.
The easiest way is to visit a salon: chemical peels are offered there , deep and very effective. True, the procedure is not cheap. Therefore, many acquire salon products and do everything themselves. Needless to say, such an initiative and a desire to save on oneself often lead to unpleasant consequences. For example, to chemical burns.
For those who do not go to the salon, I’ll tell you how to get rid of comedones using home masks. There are special strips for sale: you glue them on the problem area, then tear them off like a wax strip, and on it are comedone enemies. Such strips can be easily made by yourself.
Method number 1
We need gelatin, milk and a microwave. We mix gelatin and milk in proportions one to one, put in the microwave for a little bit, and then look at what happens. And the result should be a glue-like mass, which we put on the face and leave for 15 minutes. 15 minutes have passed - peel off the strip: there will be black dots on it.
Method number 2
Take protein from one raw egg and mix it with a tablespoon of sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Then we apply the mass on the face: if the skin is oily, then on the whole face, if combined, only on problem areas. Moreover, we apply half of the mask immediately, and the rest - on the dried first part. And we begin to pat, as if whipping fingers with a mask. When she stops sticking to her fingers, we wash ourselves.
In order for the removal of comedones to be successful, we must remember that we eat, try to minimize the consumption of sweet, fatty, and also do not drink alcohol.
And, of course, remember that cleanliness is the key to health. How to get rid of comedones without daily cleansing - no way! You need to clean your skin during the day with special products selected in accordance with your skin type.
